Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy Travel Guide Transcript:
While many travellers visit Pompeii on a day trip, we chose to base ourselves here for a few days. The main draw, of course, were the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We spent half a day walking through the world's largest excavation and archaeological site, and what follows it our mini travel guide.
Our first stop inside the complex was the Amphitheatre of Pompeii. Built around 70 BC, this is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre to have been built of stone; for comparison the Colosseum in Rome wouldn’t come into existence for another century. We toured the grounds and also checked out the music exhibit on site, because it turns out a lot of bands have played here over the years!
After visiting the amphitheatre which is on the very east end, we started making our way into the city. The streets were cobbled and all along there were rows of houses and villas, many of them with impressive frescoes that tell the tale of a wealthy city with lavish homes.
One of the reasons Pompeii is so well preserved is because it was buried quickly by volcanic ash and pumice, plus the lack of air and moisture also allowed for the buried artifacts to be extremely well preserved. Stepping into the homes is like stepping into the past; you can still see the elaborate mosaic floors and vibrant frescoes frozen in time.
Continuing our walk through Pompeii, we eventually reached the Forum. This square would have been the centre of life for locals with temples, municipal buildings, and markets. The statue of the centaur, half-man half-horse, is a focal point, as is the view of Mount Vesuvius looking down on the ruins.
To finish off our visit of Pompeii, we walked along the southern edge of the ruined city where we saw the casts of the victims of Vesuvius. When archaeological teams began excavating Pompeii, they noticed there were large voids in the compacted ash whenever they were digging around bones. By pouring plaster into the spaces, they were able to capture the final poses of the residents’ last moments in the city.
One of the best discoveries of our time in Pompeii was Pizzeria Alleria, we stumbled here soaking wet on our first night in the city and we just couldn’t stay away after that. Here’s what the fuss is all about.
After that, we ended up getting a second Margherita pizza - the first one was just too tasty! - and then we also ordered the Nutella cheesecake, which was just as decadent as it looks.
We started our do-it-yourself tour of modern Pompei at Piazza Bartolo Longo, a beautiful plaza lined with palm trees right in the heart of the city. Standing in the square, it’s impossible to miss the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei, where once you step you are greeted with painted domes and golden ceilings. And then from there, we went to the top of the bell tower for a 360-degree views of the city.

Mount Vesuvius and Herculaneum Day Trip in Naples, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
The journey from Pompeii to Herculaneum is a scenic one with Mount Vesuvius to one side and the Bay of Naples to the other. It only took us 20 minutes to get there by train, so if you’re looking for a day trip, it doesn’t get much easier than this one. Just maybe don’t get off in the outskirts of town like we did, but more on that later.
Vesuvio's Express is a shuttle service that runs to the top of the volcano, so if you’re expecting a guided tour filled with lots of interesting facts, this isn’t it.
That being said, we were perfectly happy to tour the site on our own, and we couldn’t beat the price at 20 Euros per person.
The only problem we encountered was that the roads were completely iced over the further we went up the mountain, and at one point the bus just had to give up and let all the passengers off to go the rest of the way on foot.
Things got a little easier once we swapped icy paved roads for a dirt trail, though we also had snow to contend with, but we eventually reached the top. I would say one of the coolest things about hiking up to Mount Vesuvius was being able to see that it’s a volcano within a volcano, and while there was no bubbling lava visible to the eye, we could see steam rising from several vents.
Our next stop after lunch were the ruins of Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town that was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. While Pompeii was covered in ash, Herculaneum was hit by the pyroclastic flow that followed the explosion of 79 AD, which also led to its preservation.
What at first glance appears to be a moat, is Herculaneum’s ancient shoreline. Here we were met with the aftermath of the explosion: a row of old boat houses, each of them filled with the skeleton remains of those who did not escape during the first day of the eruption.

Italy, Naples: How to Travel from Naples to Pompeii by Train POV
Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC by the Osci or Oscans. It came under the domination of Rome in the 4th century BC, and was conquered and became a Roman colony in 80 BC after it joined an unsuccessful rebellion against the Roman Republic. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was estimated at 11,000 people, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium, and a port.
The eruption destroyed the city, killing its inhabitants and burying it under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens. The site was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599 and broader rediscovery almost 150 years later by Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre in 1748.[1] The objects that lay beneath the city have been preserved for more than a millennium because of the lack of air and moisture. These artefacts provide an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city during the Pax Romana. During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed archaeologists to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.
Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.[2]

Herculaneum, Italy Walking Tour in 4K
****You can click on the time links below to skip ahead.****On August 24th, 79 AD, Mt. Vesuvius erupted for the first time in centuries. Herculaneum, just 3 miles away from the base of Mt. Vesuvius was spared from initial destruction as the wind carried most of the ash and pumice on to Pompeii. On the following night, the plume of ash above Mt. Vesuvius collapsed causing massive pyroclastic flows that buried both Pompeii and Herculaneum. While most of Pompeii has been excavated. It is estimated that only 25% of Herculaneum has been excavated. The rest lies under the current city of Ercolano.

TRAVEL to POMPEII (Naples), ITALY | Planet Cruise
The top of anyone's priority list when visiting Naples will be the stunning Ancient City of Pompeii. Sat in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.
Pompeii stands as one of the oldest and most significant glimpses of Ancient Roman civilisation. Once, a thriving society in the year 79 AD now stands as a time capsule after the region was buried in thick ash and lava.
As you walk around you can see the ancient city still in tact.

Pompeii or Herculaneum?
Why should you visit Herculaneum?
Welcome to Varshastravel360.
You must have heard of the archeological site of Pompeii near Naples in Italy. But have you heard of Herculaneum or Ercolano in Italian? This is a lesser known archeological site just beside the Pompeii and in this video, I will explain why should you visit there.
Let's go inside.
Near the entrance, at the ticket office, they have a small display of a model of ancient theatre and some statues recovered from Papiry villa on site.
Look at this. Does it look like present settlement with actually inhabited houses? Well, this is the Herculaneum archeological site. Houses and monuments in Herculaneum are far better preserved as compared to Pompeii. Let’s explore it together.
They have audio guides in different languages for adults and for kids as well separately. I recommend renting these information guides. Aarush enjoyed listening to his audio guide and explored all of the sites on his own.
We entered through this tunnel and our first stop is here. In 79AD when the volcano erupted, the seawater used to reach up to here and these enclosed places were used by Romans to store boats. During Vesuvius eruption, people took shelter in here. These skeletons today, help understand a lot of details about the roman lifestyle that time.
In addition to audio guides, they have different boards displaying information.
You can see how sparsely crowded is this place. We are here in August and there aren’t many tourists. One can thoroughly enjoy the visit while getting a deep insight of the place and the consequences of the eruption.
I also have a series of videos on how to visit Pompeii in one day. You can find those links below in the description.
This used to be Tavern or a restaurant in ancient days.
This was a bakery with a lot of intact structures. These stone structures were grinders and mixers. Inside here is an old style oven.
A lot of structures are intact and this helps us get a better idea of how those people used to live, how were their houses and settlements etc.
Romans used to decorate their villas with different colorful frescos. Here in Herculaneum, these are also well preserved and one can see some of them on site as well.
This was a female bath with this changing room. Their baths were provided with heated water.
And we found one ancient cat also. Just kidding :)
Herculaneum does not have a lot of options like in Pompeii but there is one local restaurant beside car parking area. They have some authentic Italian dishes which are made with fresh ingredients grown in the Vesuvius volcanic soil. Trust me, these vegetables are tastier.
If you like the historical stuff then Herculaneum is the place for you.
Thanks for watching

Pompei Apartment Tour in Naples, Italy Video Transcript:
Good morning guys. This is going to be our last apartment tour here on our trip in Europe because this is our last apartment we're staying in. And we've been staying in Pompei, Italy for a week. And we've done so many cool things using this as our base. But before I talk about that let's give you a tour of the actual apartment.
So here this is the door. If you take a quick peak outside you can see that we're staying in a house and there is a little table over here. Yeah, this is going to be a fast tour because we have a train to catch so luggage already out. Yeah, we're all set to go. We're late as per usual. So over here we had a cool table which we used for both working and eating. Um, up here some nice artwork. Very Italian. Yeah, and we visited basically the first week of December and so it was cold so we were making really good use of that heater over there.
Alright, on to the couch. So we just hung out and watched Netflix here. I love this panorama. Tada. Yeah, it is kind of a panoramic photo of Naples. Yeah, of Naples and you have the Bay of Naples and then off in the distance you have Mount Vesuvius. The imposing Mount Vesuvius. We went up there. That was a true highlight of our stay here.
Okay, let's quickly go into the kitchen. So into the kitchen here. This is yeah it was nicely fully stocked. We made full use of this. We were making our own pastas.
Okay so moving on so yeah this was basically a living area and kitchen and then in here we had uh a fairly spacious bathroom in terms of surface area. But maybe the world's smallest shower.
Okay this is the bedroom. Nice big bed. Again more artwork. And the most important thing in the bedroom was this. Heat. The heater. We would turn that on before we go to bed and sometimes we'd have it on at night while we were sleeping. Then over here we had a wardrobe and lots of extra blankets as well for winter.
Anyways, I'm going to sit down on the couch and tell you why I think Pompeii is kind of like the perfect place to base yourself when you're in this region of Italy.
So first before I forget let's talk about the price. So we got this place for $43 dollars (US) a night. Which I thought was an absolute steal with a weekly discount. It is offseason. We're basically in a house. We have a gate. It just felt very secure. It was quiet here. Really good location and keep in mind when we stayed for instance in Matera we were paying $70 dollars a night. Now the actual city of Pompei is really nice. It has a really nice um like downtown area. Some great restaurants that we loved. It is clean, it feels safe here. It just was a really cool place to be based because we were kind of literally at the halfway point between all of these things that we were doing while we were here. Yeah, so we took a lot of day trips. We ended up going to Sorrento in the south, then we had Herculaneum and Vesuvius which was slightly north. Yep. Then we also did Naples.
There is just so much to do in this area. LIke aside from what we did there was also the Isle of Capri which we didn't have time to do.
That is basically it from us from Pompeii, Italy. We've got a train to catch so we're going to say tata for now and we'll see you guys on the travel vlog which is actually taking us back to Canada. See you guys soon. Bye. Ciao.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.
